Hello everyone, hoping some folks with experience using an ECV at Universal/IOA could give me some feedback about their experience. I had hoped to invite my dad, who was in a car accident that damaged his spine, to Disney this year for Christmas, but have decided that Universal will be better until things at Disney return to semi-normal. I know that WDW is very accommodating of ECVs but I know less about Universal in that regard. Their website says that guests in ECVs can transfer to manual wheelchairs at the queues so they can use them in line, then return to their ECVs after they ride. Is that still the case? How has that gone with sanitizing things for COVID? My dad wouldn't ride anything jerky but he could certainly go on some of the dark rides, Hogwarts express, and just generally enjoy getting to spend time with his grandsons at a park we last went to together when I was 9 (and I still have the Jaws photo to prove it!) But while he can walk with a cane, I don't want him to be in pain. So long as he could use an ECV most of the time and then just have to walk a bit to load/unload from rides and enter restaurants, I think he would be fine. We would spend a lot of time in WOHP, how are the cobblestones and walkways there with ECVs? Can you use them on the boats to and from the resorts? Sorry for the long winded post, but I appreciate hearing your thoughts if you or a loved one has used an ECV at UO/IOA
